Here’s how our Instructional Framework breaks down

  • By connecting standards and high yield strategies to instruction, the first stage provides a path to effective teaching and high-performing classrooms.

  • In the second stage, teachers focus on rigor, learning activities, grade-level assignments, and assessments.

  • Integrate Acceleration practices to catch kids up and help them perform at grade level. The third stage is all about ensuring all students are successful.

Combine and Implement Exemplary Practices

At Learning-Focused, we’re all about synthesis. Our instructional framework trains teachers to synthesize proven, effective learning strategies. We also show them how to use those strategies in specific situations with specific students.

Ongoing support helps make your schools successful

Effective professional development is continuous professional development – not “one and done” training sessions with no follow-up. Our approach includes purposeful, ongoing development, so teachers master the framework with our team at their side.
